Adah Lux: MAKING AFRICAN FASHION A STATEMENT

Adah Lux proves one label that makes us embarrassed I have not discovered it any earlier. The label combines ethnic prints with contemporary styles creating fab ready to wear pieces for the global citizen in all women.

Dawta Ali is a second generation seamstress, who was raised in a home where designing and architecting creativity were in abundance. She started designing at the age of 7, drawing her ideas out for her mom who would then create them. In her late teens, she began a reconstructed denim line, that consisted of unique, custom pieces which incorporated other textiles, including African wax prints.


Dawta’s family ties to Ghana and passion for Africa, has allowed her to immerse herself in the textile industry in Africa, which continues to inspire, teach and fuel her creativity.
